Not Acquainted With the Customs.

The Paducah Ne,os tells the following story.
illustrating the inability of some of our foreign
born citizens to fully comprehend United States
customs:
Henry Theobald, the butcher, has lived in
the United States for many years. day or
two ago he had horse and buggy sent out to
his place in the country Not being ready to use
the rig he directed the boy who brought it to
put the animal in the stable When he went to
hitch up the horse again Henry could not find
the collar and names, so he mounted a mule
and rode two miles to town for these essential
articles thinking they had been stolen.
Say, he remarked to the liveryman, some
one has stolen dot collar md names, vot you
send ouid nit dot horse and buggy
what collar and hamesy' inquired the sta
blekeeper.
Dot vot you send init de horse und buggy
oudn
1.-THE mystery of the breast-strap harness was
explained to Mr.. Theobald, and he returned
home with a faraway expression in his eyes, as
he remarked: Ply chimney, / hat been in dis
country swanSey years und if / hat ever seen
such harness as dot before l hope 1 may pc
tamni'
Henry tells the story on himself and says he
will make an affidavit that he never saw a
breaStstrap harness before in his life"

CONGRESSMAN Townsend's Scheme

1t is remarkable that we permit England
France and Germany to about monopolize
the trade of Mexico, Central and South
America. If we did not know how great the
trade of those countries is, and how valu-
able it could be made to us, our apparent
Indifference with regard to it would not be
strange, but we do know its value and we
also know that by the right kind of effort
we can control the greater part of it. In
all the countries south of us there is a
very friendly feeling for us. There is
not one of them that would not rather trade
with us than any European country if our
inducements were as great. England, for
instance, sells Mexico about IS, 600, 900 worth
of manufactured cotton goods annually,
while we send her only about $50, 900. Cannot
we manufacture cotton goods as cheaply as
England? We certainly ought to, as we
grow the cotton. The annual imports of
Mexico and Central and South America
are valued at about $3.50, 100000, and their
exports at about the same amount. OF this
vast trade we get only about $35, 900, 900.
This does not look as if we were as enter
prising as we have the reputation of being.
1t is true that the tariff is against our manu-
facturers, but even with that burden we
ought to be doing better business with
sister republics than we are. For
several years the Argentine Republic has
offered 100000 year to any company that
would establish and maintain a steamship
line between Buenos Ayres and any port in
this country, and no American has had the
courage and pluck to accept it.
The Post Office Department is doing
something to bring about closer
trade relations with Mexico and
Central and South American coun-
tries. 1t has negotiated postal
convention with Mexico by which thou
sands of small articles weekly find their
way into that country. Conventions of a
similar character, it is believed, with all
postal countries of Central and South
America will be signed within the next few
months. Closer postal relations will lead to
closer trade relations.
Congressman Townsend proposes to intro
duce bill into the present Congress to pro-
vide for calling convention at Washing
ton, to be composed of representatives from
all the countries south of us and from
Canada, whose object shall be to agree upon
a comm rcial union. Mr.. Townsend says
that he sees nothing in the way of free trade
between this country and the countries
mentioned. The South American countries
! produce what we want and we proouce
what they want. With the tariff barriers
removed we should find it an easy matter to
control the rich trade of the Southern re-
publcs

1t is expected that the opening of the Sen
ate will not be wholly without interesting
incidents. There are twenty-six Senators
to be sworn in Fifteen are new ones and
eleven have been reelected Among the
new ones are Judge Faulkner of West Viz
ginia, and Mr.. Turpie, Of Indiana. They
are both Democrats, and it is the impression
that the Republicans will object to either Of
them taking the oath of Office 1t is doubt
full, however, if all the Republican Senators
can be induced to oppose the seating OF
Judge Faulkner, as there is no doubt that
he was fairly elected. The only ground for
Directing to him is that his seat is claimed
by Mr.. Lucas, who was appointed by the
Governor, and who insists that under the
law of West Virginia he is entitled to the
seat while longer.
The objection to Mr.. Turpie is that he was
not legally elected. 1t is alleged that
Democratic majority was secured in the
Legislature which elected him by unseating
a Republican Senator. As he has the Gov
ernor's certificate, however it is difficult to
see how he is to be prevented from taking
his seat.
The Democratic Senators have determined
to insist that both Judge Faulkner and Mr..
Turpie shall be seated. 1t was suggested
that the Democrats should object to the
swearing in of any OF the twenty-six Sena-
tors unless the Republicans would agree
that all of them should be
sworn in. The difficulty in the
way of this programme, however, is
that Mr. Turpie's name is the last in the list
the list being arranged in alphabetical
order, and the Republicans have not said
whether they intend to raise an objection
in Mr.. Turpie's case or not The prob
abilities are, however, that Judge Faulkner
will be sworn in without objection. and that
a determined effort will be made to keep
Mr.. Turpie out.
One of the reasons why the Republicans
want to keep Mr.. Turpie out is that if all
the Democrats are admitted to seats Senator
Riddleberger, of Virginia, will hold the
balance of power. He is expected to act
with the Republicans, but lately
he has shown disposition to
play the part of an Independent.
In fact, the Democrats are so confident that
he will vote with them on some questions
that they are thinking Of asking the Re-
publcans to grant them the chairmanships
of a few more committees. The minority
always has few of the minor committees,
but if Senator Riddleberger proposes to act
with the Democratic side once in while,
thus placing it ON an equality with the Re
publican, there is no good reason why the
Democrats should not have a much larger
share of the committee chairmanships than
at present. The opening proceedings of the
Senate will certainly be watched with
great deal of interest.

The Buffalo Express says that perhaps
if France could be induced to let some one
form of government have a chance to live a
generation, the people would come to like
it. This suggests the fact that the French
are very impatient race, and it has been
stated that in one hundred years past the
succession to rulership has been peaceably
transferred only twice, viz. When Louis
XVIII. died and was succeeded by Charles
X, in 1924, and when President Grevy sue
ceeded himself two years ago. Such state
ments are not calculated to raise French
men in the estimation of the people of this
country, where one form of government
has lived over hundred years. They con-
vey the idea of instability on the part of
the government, and of fckleness on the
part of the people. The French could get a
useful hint from their former foes, the Ger
mans, or from the thrifty and steadfast
American.

December.

Frank Dempster Sherman.
DEFENDERS come. and with her brought
A world in whitest marble wrought!
The trees and fence and all the posts
Stand motionleSS and white as ghosts,
And all the paths we used to know
Are hidden in the drifts of snow.
December brings the longest night,
And cheats the day of half its light,
No bird-song breaks the perfect hush;
No meadow brook with liquid gush
Runs telling tales in babbling rhyme
OF liberty and summer time,
But frozen in its icy cell
Awaits the sun to break the spell
Breathe once upon the window glass
And see the mimic mists that pass
Fantastic shapes that go and come
Forever silvery and dumb.
December Santa Claus shall bring
OF happy children, happy king.
Who with his sleigh and reindeer stops
At all good peoples chimney tops
Then let the holly red be hung,
And all the sweetest carols sung.
While with joy remember them
The journeyers to Bethlehem,
Who followed, trusting from afar
The guidance of that happy star
Which marked the spot where Christ was Dor
Long years ago, one Christmas morn!

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1887-12-04

In all countries and generations women
have been reluctant making known their
ages, but the prejudice was not supposed to
extend to man. The New York Erening
Post, however, brings to light two examples
of men who used every device for conceal
ing their ages, and it might have ferreted
out great many more. The late Senator
Logan had Presidential aspirations for 1888,
and thought that his age at that time would
injure his chances of election, if nominated.
He therefore suppressed the figures in the
Congressional Directory, and sought in
other ways to hide the fact that he would
have been 90 next year. The other in
stance is that OF Senator Harris, of
Tennessee, who will be candidate for re-
election in 1899, and who has already begun
a systematic plan of suppression in the
hope that the Legislature will not be able
to find out that 1889 will usher in his list
birthday The Presidential possibilities for
next year will not have to contend with this
sort of thing. On the Democratic side, Mr..
Cleveland has not long passed the 50th land
mark, while Gov. Hill is still younger.
Among the Republicans Mr.. Blaine is some
where in the neighborhood of Sc, while Mr..
Sherman, Mr.. Edmunds and Mr. Allison
are not so old as to experience any uneasi-
ness on that score. Mr.. Depew and Gov.
Foraker are comparatively young. The
next President will be, say, about Mr. Cleve-
lands age.

Mrs. jefferson Davis recent letter to Col
w. H. Ross, of Macon, declining to accept
a subscription fund for herself and husband,
is receiving much praise, both for the pro-
priety of the action taken and for its excel
lence from literary standpoint. The New
York Graphic says that Mrs. Davis writes
an able letter." and the Hartford Times,
after praising ''the commendable spirit
shown" commends its tone and elegance.
Mrs. Davis is one of the best educated and
most accomplished women in the coun-
try, and her peculiar position and womanly
reserve have deprived society of notable
light.
